1. Select a cell in the dataset.
2. On the Analyse-it ribbon tab, in the Statistical Analyses group, click Compare Groups, and then click the hypothesis test.
   The analysis task pane opens.
3. In the Y drop-down list, select the quantitative response variable.

5. In the Hypotheses drop-down list, select the null and alternative hypothesis.
6. Optional: To compare the p-value against a predefined significance level, in the Significance level edit box, type the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it is true (typically 5% or 1%).
7. Click Calculate.
